CJ - this looks like a candidate for the biggest meet ever. Can't remember what the last max number of cars was ?

Anyone ?

It would be worth mentioning that we may well get a magazine write-up out of this meet, its not definite and will depend on the quality and originality of the pics. Make sure you all get the bucket and sponge out this w/e (not that I'd expect any less ;)) and say a prayer that it dosn't rain!

Any nearby car washes? I can't see my shine surviving the Cork-Dublin road, in particular the Naas road works!

2. MfFTO + 1 (p)
3. Cbyrne
4. PT FTO (p)

8. Kevinod

Total: 12

Meet only:

1. Agent s
2. Dave
3. RussMan
4. Marc
5. Daz

Weatherwise on the Saturday, its a bit of a mixed bag:

meteireann.ie wrote:Friday night will be overcast and breezy with spells of rain. The rain will be heavy in the north and west. The rain will clear early on Saturday, as fresh southwest winds veer northwest. The rest of the day will be bright fresh and breezy with dry spells and scattered showers.


Expect the unexpected!

Reminder: meet up between 11.30 and 12pm on Sat morning, head off to Paintball @ 1pm, painball finishes up @ 5.30pm, meal in town @ 8.30pm.

For paintball, bring an old pair of shoes or runners, a change of clothes would be recommended.

List amended.

Daz, I don't remember for sure, but we may have had 10 at the RR meet you're referring to but I don't think we got them all into a picture.

The directions from last years meet worked for me best... these maps tend to be a bit suss, not totally clear:
